Looks like I am going to be out of luck 😟 Merry Christmas everyone.

is a pH of 7.8 not a little high?

Yes and yes. I can change the pH setpoint. Because it is a large pool, I have 2 circulation pumps and 2 filters Etc. But only 1 IntelliChem. I can thus easily turn off the one pump for, say, an hour after adding the Alkalinity Increase. This will turn off the IntelliChem also and the other...

Thanks again, CH is 250. This pool is at my beach house and I am not there at present so cannot check the chemistry of the inflow water. Water quality in South Africa is generally not to bad. I know it is great at my main residence but have not checkedmy Beach Hose water quality. Will do...

Interesting. I was not aware of this. I will look into raising the CH.

I am wondering if I should be turning my IntelliChem off (stop the acid dosing) for a period after realising the alkalinity and if so, how long.

Thanks for the reply / interest! FC = 3 (I also use ozone so ORP is probably more relevant - 650) CC = 0.1 CYA = 30 TA = 50 pH = 7.6 not sure what CH is and I don’t use a salt chlorinator. Sorry. Being daft. CH is 250

I have an IntelliChem unit on my pain pool at my beach residence which does a great job of controlling my ORP (chlorine and ozone) levels and pH levels. My problem is that my alkalinity levels are always low. I simply can’t get them above 40 to 50ppm. I have tried both bicarb and soda ash...

One has to assume there will be a new update soon! I would hope for a stable version 2.xxx in 2023… I’m still on 2.017 and most of my issues relate to how it deals with multiple expansion panels.

Hmmm… is it just me or has version 2.017 disappeared from the Pentair download site?

As a matter of interest, is it possible to access the IntelliCenter using the Modbus protocol? And if so, does anyone have a Modbus map for the IntelliCenter?

No problem on my side also. However, I am already in contact with Pentair on various little items that I picked up (including the one mentioned here) and they are actively looking at these.

So… when I upgraded to 2.017, most things worked but I have one big problem. Any suggestions welcome. Essentially, I have a main panel (lets call this panel 1) and 2 expansion panels (lets call these panels 2 and 3). During the upgrade, panel 2 and 3 were switched… as far as I can tell, the...

I am planning to update on Saturday when I am down at my beach house. I have not heard of the jntelliflo pump firmware issue. Does this apply to v3 pumps or to all IntelliFlo pumps? Where can one find the pump firmware version?

@MyAZPool - thanks for the useful info as always. Hopefully they fixed a lot more than your list above. This does not touch on any of the main 2.006 issues!

Brilliant. Thanks. I see that the website states that this will update all panels. This is new. Previously only the main panel was updated OTA and slaves had to be updated manually. Has anyone tested this? I am not at my beach house presently but will risk upgrading remotely if it appears...

Looks promising!

Thanks for a good laugh!

What was the fix? A reboot? ;-)

Thanks again @MyAZPool - did you get any feel for when the next release is likely to land? I am quite keen to see how the improved communication between panels in version 2.xxx impacts my system.

Done and thanks!

Hi @MyAZPool Thanks for this initiative! A great thing to do. And kudos to Pentair for participating! I have seen some bug fixes and significant layout improvements in the IntelliCenter app in recent months. Pentair should be applauded for this. However, there are a number of significant...

I think my master / slave panels talk via RS485 and that did not work so I had to revert back. Lights controlled from the sub panel were a mess and so were (at least) some of the aux circuits… Hope we get a 2.1x release soon!

I see that 2.006 has re-appeared on the Pentair download page with the following note: The recently released firmware 2.006 for IntelliCenter Pool Control and Monitoring Systems was found to have a few reported issues. This firmware is the most advanced yet, but there are select situations that...

I used this process BUT I did not backup system settings first. I suspect that if I had backed up system settings and then restored them after the roll back this would have dealt with most of my issues. I also suspect that most of my issues arose because I have multiple panels (a master and 2...

I do wonder when there will be a new Pentair 2.xxx. I know they have said February in some communications (and I certainly hope it will be February and hopefully February 2023!)

The roll back works well BUT does sometimes (did in my case) mess up some (lots of) settings.

So I am a very unhappy Pentair customer today… finally got to my Beach House which was upgraded to 2.006 a few weeks back. I thought that I had managed to work around all of the issues that this release brought but low and behold, I discovered that (at least) 2 Auxillary circuits simply did not...

Great news on the improved communication between panels and the specific reference to this impacting lights. This has been a major bugbear for me and I am really hoping that when we get a non-beta version of IC2.xxx this will solve a long-standing issue for me 😀. That will be a massive...

I reported all but 1 of the bugs that I found and the reply from Pentair was a recommendation to roll back to 1.064.
